I'm in love...
He is amazing. He loves me way more than any man could. He rejoices over me, sings over me, watches over me, and never ever leaves me. I am forever in His care. I'm never totally faithful though. Sometimes I play the whore and reject Him, even after all He's done. Once I'm at my lowest point is when He comes back to rescue me and love me. He never stops loving me. I am His bride. Not even death can separate us. We are bound together with blood. His dowry was His death. He payed my Father by dying for me. He truly loves me. His name is Jesus. We are to be wed once He comes back for me. I don't know when that is, all I know is that it will be the perfect time. We will marry and He will lift the veil from my eyes and I will be able to see everything clearly. It's all so amazing.. I can't wait!

hey......long time no see...
well hi there.. this is pretty pathetic that I haven't been on here in so long. but I'M ON! *applause* I want to say not much new, but there's plenty new, I just have no idea where to start. Uhm. hm.. I guess I could go with Mexico...
it was a BLAST!! Loved the kids, loved the weather, loved the people there.. completely awesome. I would love to go back and live there <3 so lovely. It's almost like Israel with the deserts and mountains... but really not that much. I did end up getting fairly sick while we were there....throwing up and the like.. pretty sure I hurled on a tarantula. yum. but I still had so much fun. One little girl there, Millie, always stayed by herself or with the people who lived there & never went to us kids. So a different toddler who was there would kinda play with me, so Millie, her, and another child would kindof all toddle together, so I would just sit in the middle and help them if they needed help and just interacted when they got close. Not to force myself to them, but willing to play if they wanted. (I knew if it were my nieces it would've been the same way. you gotta take it slow) So then Millie and I kinda started playing this "game". It started out with just high fiving each other... then whenever she would highfive me I would do a note. Then she'd do it again; another note. Eventually it made "Jesus loves me" or "twinkle twinkle little star". So then she and I would always start to play together doing these weird clapping games. Then we found a broken highchair that basically became a booster seat, and she decided she wanted to jump from it. So first I said...one....twooo... threeee... JUMP! and she'd jump and we'd laugh, then she'd climb back up and we'd do it over and over again. Then I switched it to.. uunoo... doos.....treeeeess...SALTA! and we'd jump and laugh & I'd grab her into my lap and hug her and tickle her and kiss her head.. then she would just rest her head on my chest and we'd just sit there.... I wanted to take her home soooo bad. She was so sweet, so cute, so loving... you just couldn't rush her. She first came to the orphanage when she was a few months old and about 6 pounds. so tiny and malnourished. somebody dropped her off at the door, so they took her in and fed her and she's still small for her age, but still so much better. so they named her Milagro.. or Millie... which is miracle. Anyway, she was the highlight of my trip. :)
theenn... what else has happened in my life... Bethany's due in november so that means another niece! (even though Layla is praying for a boy & everyone just thinks it'll be a boy... we shall see!) and.. what else... Dan & Dalia are moving away :( to Ohio. they want to own a farm in Canada since it's cheaper... they've always had big dreams. Let's see where they end up in life...but I will for sure miss Slevin and Frankie like crazy!! sigh... hm...my birthday's coming up in october!! crazy... I'll be 17. thats so crazy. I still feel like I'm 12 or something half the time...17 doesn't seem right. But I may be in Gulf Shores for my birthday!! Bethany & her friends go down there every year for a vacation with the kids, so I'd be a babysitter.. still gulf shores! Let's hope hurricane Isaac doesnt destroy it COMPLETELY.
So yeah... been learning lots from God, always. And He will always be my true love. :) ciao
